She grew up in Barbour and Pike Counties and completed the 8th grade. When she was 15 years old, she met Coy at a church singing, and supposedly she “accidentally” touched his hand on the church pew and the courtship was on! During the time that Coy was in the Navy during World War II, she moved to Columbus, Georgia and lived with a sister and worked at the 5 & 10 Cent Store saving money for his arrival home. They were married in February, 1945 when he returned home and began their life together in Elamville, Alabama where they resided for the most of 76 years. Although she suffered from severe vertigo she worked in the glove factory in Brundidge, Alabama and later at Phillips Van Heusen Corporation in Clio and Ozark, Alabama until she retired with 29 years of service. She was a garment inspector and a remarkable hand seamstress who helped Mrs. Bernice Key of Clio with making many garments for local citizens. HONEY was a dedicated Christian who attended Elam Baptist Church in Elamville, Alabama where she taught Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, WMU and also served as the church custodian until her health declined. HONEY was a loving and dedicated daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great, great grandmother. Additionally, she was an excellent cook who was well known for her “homemade” biscuits and delicious pecan pies. She inspired all of her family with her wit, and “Honeyisms” challenging us to be the best that we could be and to remind us of who we were. We are thankful for the many caregivers who provided care for her and Coy during the last five years as they struggled with their declining health. She is now pain free and is walking the streets of gold with open eyes and ears. We will miss her dearly treasuring the great memories of many good times together! Pallbearers were Keith Barr, Logan Barr, David Adams, Blake Barron, James Ray Ketchum, Danny Graham and Peewee Sutton.
